Macklemore’s Grammy wins: Hip hop world reacts via social media

Possibly the most anticipated night in music awards, the Grammys never fail to prove just how out of touch the voting committees are with the music industry.

1989 was the year that Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance and ever since viewers have known that the committees are practically clueless when it comes to doling out awards to musical talent. Now in 2014, the same thing has happened to the rap categories, with Macklemore sweeping the awards for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and, most notably, Best Rap Album.
That last one seems to have brought the most outrage from just about everyone, who took to Twitter to vent their fury.

We all hoped that it wouldn’t end up like this:.

If they award this Macklemore tool the Best Rap Album Grammy tonight, he should hand it over to Kendrick Lamar and apologize.
